It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

What can I do? Probably a problem on overlys's side or is it "my fault"? Thanks!

Any hints? Can s/o confirm success of compilation? Thanks a lot in advance!

EDIT:
Just in case s/o is having the the same problem(s) here is what it solved for me.
After doing the qt5 downgrade to the unity-overlay qt versoins qt3d and qtgui that failed to compile before did work out. (see very first post of this thread)

Only the upgrade from unity-base/signon-ui-0.15_p0_p01-r4 to unity-base/signon-ui-0.16_p0_p01-r2 keeps on failing

EDIT2: After a re-emerge of x11-libs/libaccounts-qt-1.11_p0_p01-r1 this also worked out.

When I click on 'Unlock, the root prompt disappear immediately after 1 second .The same issue occurs when I try to mount a drive in nautilus.

I wasn't able to initially reproduce this, but some Googling mentioned others with the same problem when /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 has not been setuid.
Was then able to reproduce by setting 'chmod -s /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1', so you may just need to do 'chmod +s /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1' as root.

If this does fix the problem, then it becomes a mystery how this would have been unset as this is set at installation of sys-auth/polkit.
You might also wish to re-emerge sys-auth/polkit as a catchall.

Setting the SUID fix the problem.

I've made some chown -R root:root to fix incorrect rights due to a backup restore just before switching to Unity

I am struggling to emerge unity from the overlay. Until here i always used minimalistic WM like awesome window manager, i want to give my old laptop to a old person who's used to unity.
What I did so far is to switch to the correct profile (i guess)

Is there a new ebuild available that has a corrected branch location? (I just did a layman sync)

While trying to install properties-cpp from the xenial branch, I am receiving the error "No rule to make target 'gmock/libs/gtest/libgtest.a', needed by 'tests/signals_test'. Stop." Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

it would be nice if net-mail/gnubiff was added to that overlay. unless you use ./configure --disable-gnome the compilation requires libpanel-applet provided by gnome-panel which is only available in this overlay.

what I did test is adding the overlay, selecting some profile, building unity-base/unity-build-env and then gnome-panel. afterwards the version 2.2.17 from sourceforge did compile with gnome enabled, and it did run in plasma -- although I didn't notice much difference since kde isn't using gnome stuff. so at least it works. since nothing changed I'll undo the profile and revert @world. but maybe unity-users would get something out of it -- and be it just the fact that gnubiff is being maintained again, by the ubuntu-devs...

just for the record: gnubiff-2.2.15::gentoo crashes when changing mailbox-configuration, so it's useful only for the default file-based mailbox. I have a user-patch to fix it, and new versions have that bug fixed too. seems some string-related bug is fixed, probably the one that caused some headers to be unreadable. the repository also mentioned some race-condition being fixed -- those are rare bugs on multi-core systems. and as mentioned another change is the use of libpanel-applet-4 instead of the old libpanelapplet-2. seems the maintainer only fixes easy-to-fix stuff, and applies provided patches...

Hi finnwiley. Can you provide a pastebin of the complete build.log for dev-libs/properties-cpp?
Also feel free to open an issue on the overlay's github page.

Thanks for your interest but we don't have any plans to start maintaining net-mail/gnubiff's Gnome support as it doesn't really fit with the unity-gentoo overlay's overall goal of providing just a Unity desktop.
We do provide some small extras packages in unity-extra/... but these again are specific to Unity desktop.

An alternative may be to maintain it yourself either in your local repo or start your own public overlay.
